About This Class

In this class you will learn how to use Photoshop as a tool to create a seamless pattern from your very own black and white line drawings. By the end of this tutorial you will have a good understanding of how to separate your lines from the background, digitally color them, and how to split the final piece to create the finished repeat. I'd love to see your progress, so please upload your process and finished pattern in the projects section.

ASSIGNMENT: You will start off drawing individual icons that will then be scanned and arranged to create a repeat pattern in Photoshop. Your lines will be colored digitally, so use black and white media to create your drawings. With that in mind, feel free to get creative! You can use ink, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, brush pen, etc. .

My name is Charnelle Pinkney Barlow and I am the lovely face behind Call Me Chartreuse. Originally from Poughkeepsie, Ny, I am an illustrator and surface designer that loves drawing as much as I love tea...and that's a whole lot of love!

The images I create are made to delight your inner child. These hand drawn whimsical patterns and illustrations are inspired by everyday objects, animals, and food.

I leave it to my artwork to tell my stories and make others smile. Whatever ...
